Nice article, I found it very relatable. My question for you is where was your newfound traffic coming from? I've found the hardest part about memes was to actually keep them on something you control. People love to host them on imgur and then reuse them without citation.

We once had an infographic that a Reddit user added a little bit to and then it hit the front page w/o citation of any sort.

Rand, I think your website will suffer the most from this compared to other marketers. The reason being is that most of your users are also going to be logged into G+. So if your business is targeted toward early adaptors, SEOs, marketeers and other online advertisers then your keyword data is going to suffer. Otherwise, it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

Great post and unique uses for finding links! I just used this tool to find a bunch of people using an infographic I put out without linking to it! Now I can contact and try to get a few more links from the poachers...

I'm having the same problem. In the spreadsheet, my columns are B3 for the Access ID and B4 for the Secret Key and I got the same error as Stephy. I tried changing them to B2 and B3 but that didn't fix it. The error I get says Invalid argument: http://lsapi.seomoz.com/linkscape/url-metrics/ + my accessID + &Expires + &Signature (with the strings in between). Any help would be appreciated
